Perez, who has scored four times and registered three assists in 29 appearances for Newcastle this season, is currently in his fourth straight season with the Magpies.

He now seems to be part of the furniture at St James’ Park, and his classy Twitter post at the start of this week will only increase his popularity at the Premier League club.

A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:

Last week has been a very hard week for me, last Wednesday my grandma passed away 😔, she was like a second mother for me, Saturday’s win was for her… and THANKS to all the fans for the support you showed, it was too much needed for me after some sad days. We keep fighting 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/WC74qYRLvR
